From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
Z has been incredibly fragile during his time here. His first year he was in and out throughout the game getting beat up. Apparently last season his ankle was an issue all season. Now his back has been a problem all camp
What in-the-name-of-Marcus-Welby-M.D. are you even talking about?? Fragile? In and out of the lineup?
Za'Darius Smith has started and played extensively in every game since being acquired by the Packers. Not only started, Smith has also played well over 80% of the defensive snaps each year not to mention some ST snaps, as well.
Has Smith slowed down play with "injuries" from time-to-time? Absolutely. It curiously happens more when the opposing offense seems to have some momentum building or there is a potential too-many-players penalty about to be called on the defense.
Fragile? Not available? Smith has been the poster child for being out there when the whistle blows!

Haha, so true.
I can't say I've ever seen a player get hurt so much for a play off or two type injuries consistently in tactically advantageous situations for a short timeout.

Relax. I just mean every year now he has had one lingering injury that has lasted from camp until the end of the season and in this case until present.
I said incredibly as in unbelievably because of his effectiveness while playing through injuries that seemingly last all season.
Makes no sense to me to trade a competent backup qb on a rookie contract.
Yeah, it almost sounds like a move a losing organization like the Jaguars would make.
I get the sense Meyer just didn’t want any fan or media driven QB controversy should Lawrence struggle. Can’t say I agree with trading a quality backup on the cheap, tho.

Might as well get compensation for him. He is no longer in your plans as an organization. If your starter is lost you tank. No point in having a good backup unless youre developing him. Old school thinking.

A 6th round pick? Could get that in a comp pick though.
Feel like I shouldn’t have to say this, but I feel like you are making me. It is possible for QBs to miss just the rest of a game or just a few weeks and not the whole season requiring tanking. If the Jags are competitive in their week division, with 7 teams making the playoffs, you don’t really wanna tank the season if Lawrence goes down for a few weeks and you are like 6-5 at the time.

If youre starting QB goes down the chances of winning the game drop dramatically. Minshew had 2 years left on is deal where he wasnt going to play. He wasnt going to be worth anything 2 off seasons from now. Depending on the conditions its very likely Minsew nets the Jags better than a 6th because Hurts is ass.
Savage not gunna be a cheap resign I have a feeling.
Or Amos.
Amos will want a ton, same with Savage, I think both will be tough resigns, I'am looking at Black taking over for Amos, and hopefully Vern Scott for Savage. Black is a tackling machine, and Vern has a lot of range to roam center field.
I's gonna be pretty hared to keep all our talented players.

Savage still has 2 years and an option. Amos though we likely move on from. He will be 30 by the time his next deal starts.
Safeties are cheap. Savage will be a great player to keep. I mean, Harrison Smith and Jamal Adams are making less than some second-tier RTs, less than all the top tier DTs. There are ILBs making more. Having young talent to re-sign at safety and TE is pretty great bang for the buck, honestly.
Speaking of safeties, Chris Banjo was cut yesterday by AZ.
I remember him as a limited but "try-hard" type player.
He turns 30 this season, for what it's worth. Would you rather have what he brings on defense AND as a ST standout or one of those "developing" safeties at the tail end of the roster?
